Historic Preservation Review Board Bienniel State Heritage Property Agency Report MONTANA’S SHARED HERITAGE Fourth Biennial Report on the Status, Condition, and Stewardship of Montana’s State-owned Heritage Properties 2016 - 2018 Report Format and Objectives In this, as well as previous reporting cycles, the biennial state agency reports provide a comprehensive and continuing understanding of the state’s heritage properties and their management. • Analyzed and synthesized agency heritage property reports • Abstracted the most salient findings and best practices • Formulated recommendations to agencies, the Legislature, and the Governor to improve heritage property management Agency reports can be accessed at: http://mhs.mt.gov/Shpo/ReviewComp/StateHeritageProperties. Montana Heritage Property Facts ~370 recorded state-owned heritage properties including seven historic districts comprised of more than 25 contributing buildings each. State-owned heritage properties include not only buildings, but also historic roads and bridges, battlefields, dams, fish hatcheries, and pre-contact native archaeological sites. DNRC manages the most know state-owned heritage properties (45%), especially archaeological sites on trust lands. State agencies consider the status of 65% of state-owned heritage properties to be satisfactory; while 10% are either threatened or endangered. Less than 10% of state-owned heritage properties are classified as high priority assets by state agencies. Outside of general maintenance, use, and administrative costs, generally less than $1 million is spent biennially by all state agencies on heritage preservation projects.

Overall Findings Patterns of agency compliance practices, achievements, difficulties, concerns, and investments, as well as statistics on heritage property numbers and conditions. Recommendations Generated from the information and patterns gleaned from the 2018 reports, these are considered the most important and most directly achievable goals for the next biennial period. Agency Voices “It is recognized that the Montana Legislature intended the State Heritage Stewardship statute as a management tool for state agencies to administer their heritage properties” --Montana Department of Transportation (2018:18) “The MT Dept. of Public Health and Human Services’ biggest challenge in identifying, evaluating, and protecting state-owned heritage properties is balancing the needs to preserve heritage places while meeting the agency’s primary mission, which is to improve and protect the health and well-being and self-reliance of all Montanans.” –MT DPTHHS (2018:5) “Of the approximately 5.2 million acres of state land administered by the DNRC, only 288, 365 acres (6%) have been inventoried to date for cultural and paleontological resources.” –MT Dept. of Natural Resources and Conservation (2018:1) Best Practices Examples of successful preservation efforts continue to emerge and can serve as guidance for all agencies. • Reporting • Developing and Employing Expertise • Building Re-use • SHPO Consultation Mountain View School for Girls, The Law Enforcement Academy • Creative and Collaborative Funding Overall Findings The agency reports yielded several patterns, both encouraging and challenging, of agency practice. • Relationships and consultation with SHPO • Importance of a designated heritage preservation position • Quality of stewardship is agency specific • Deterioration, loss, and looting • Designated vs. yet to be inventoried or evaluated • Creative solutions to stewardship problems • Recognition and acceptance of legal mission Virginia City, Montana Heritage Commission Recommendations To continue developing the improvements in agency stewardship efforts and reporting practices, we offer the following recommendations generated from the information and patterns noted in the agencies’ 2012-2018 reports: • Agencies work with SHPO to develop Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) • Agencies implement Heritage Strategies and Strategic Plans • State recognition of the potential for archaeological sites to be heritage properties • Legislative allocation of funds for an updated survey of unrecorded/unevaluated state-owned Montana Trust Lands properties National Parks Acknowledgements The State Historic Preservation Office and Historic Preservation Review Board are grateful for the efforts of the agencies that reported in this and previous cycles of documentation and analysis, and the Montana State Legislature for the enabling legislation.

  • Minutes of the Meeting Taxation Committee Montana State Senate
    MINUTES OF THE MEETING TAXATION COMMITTEE MONTANA STATE SENATE April 1, 1987 The fifty-fifth meeting of the Senate Taxation Committee was called to order at 8:00 A.M. on April 1, 1987 by Chairman George McCallum in Room 325 of the Capitol Building. ROLL CALL: All committee members were present. CONSIDERATION OF HB 84: Representative Winslow, House District 89, presented this bill to the committee. We are putting $1.2 million a year into a tourism promotion program when the states around us are putting $5 million. We are 49th in the nation as far as attraction and tourism. This bill has been wo~ked on for a year and some changes were made and some commitments were made from people that previously have not supported this kind of a tax. Several people have looked at ~hat could be done to put Montana in a position of c~mpetition in tourism. If we do not compete we lose. Montana does not even have an opportunity to get the word out on what a wonderful place Montana would be to vacation, people come through Montana because that is where the road goes, not because they have heard about it. This bill assesses a 4% bed tax on motels and campgrounds. The House committee added a couple of amendments which he supports. One would have a percentage go to the Historical Society, which plays a critical roll. The other breaks some of it down to go to the university system. John Wilson from the Department has some clean­ up amendments for some of the action taken in the House.

  • Long-Term Field Evaluation of Mecinus Janthinus Releases Against
    Long-term field evaluation of Mecinus janthinus releases against Dalmatian toadflax in Montana (USA) S.E. Sing,1 D.K. Weaver,1 R.M. Nowierski2 and G.P. Markin3 Summary The toadflax stem mining weevil, Mecinus janthinus Germar, was first released in the United States in Montana, in 1996. This agent has now become established to varying degrees after subsequent re- leases made at sites throughout the state. Multiple releases of M. janthinus have presented researchers with a unique opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of this agent in diverse habitats and under a variety of environmental conditions. The results presented in this paper summarize findings from long-term field data, illustrating not only the impact of M. janthinus on the target weed, Dalmatian toadflax, Linaria dalmatica (L.) P. Mill., but also on correlated plant community dynamics. These results ad- ditionally provide a valuable means to compare and contrast the biotic response and control efficacy of this agent at both a regional and sub-continental scale. Keywords: Linaria, efficacy, plant community response. Introduction necessitates precise timing of herbicide application when root carbohydrate reserves are low and the plant Dalmatian toadflax, Linaria dalmatica (L.) P. Mill. is therefore more susceptible to chemical translocation (Scrophulariaceae) (USDA, NRCS 2007), is an inva- and impact (Robocker et al., 1972) and (2) the protec- sive short-lived perennial forb of Mediterranean origin tive waxy leaf coating resists herbicide penetration (De (Alex, 1962). Intentionally introduced to North Amer- Clerck-Floate and Miller, 2001). Chemical control of ica as an ornamental plant, L. dalmatica is now wide- Dalmatian toadflax is expensive due to the typically spread and has effectively become naturalized through large acreages affected.

    FOURTH BIENNIAL REPORT TO THE STATE PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD BY THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AS SPECIFIED BY SENATE BILL NO. 3 (2011) ON THE STATUS AND NEEDS OF AGENCY HERITAGE PROPERTIES January 2018 Report Prepared By: Jon Axline Environmental Services Montana Department of Transportation 2701 Prospect Avenue Helena, Montana 59620-1001 FOURTH BIENNIAL REPORT TO THE STATE PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD BY THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AS SPECIFIED BY SENATE BILL NO. 3 (2011) ON THE STATUS AND NEEDS OF AGENCY HERITAGE PROPERTIES January 2018 Introduction This document constitutes the Montana Department of Transportation’s (MDT) fourth biennial report to the Historic Preservation Review Board as required under the 2011 Montana Senate Bill No. 3 (the State Heritage Stewardship amendment to the Montana Antiquities Act), a regulation that requires State Agencies and the Montana University System to biennially report to the Board on the status and maintenance needs of agency heritage properties. This report includes the MDT’s known heritage properties, their status, condition, and priority for preservation. In 2016, the MDT reported 108 heritage properties owned by the agency. Since that reporting period, nine properties have been removed from MDT ownership or demolished and thirteen properties added to the list. The new properties consist primarily of MDT-owned airway beacons. In 2018, the MDT’s heritage properties list includes 119 historic properties. Most of the heritage properties detailed in this report were documented and treated under Section 106 (36CFR 800) of the National Historic Preservation Act (1966) as part of the MDT’s cultural resource program. That regulation is applicable to federally-funded projects that have the potential to impact historic properties.
